back to the Down to Earth

Hey, so, I need some advice: 

My best friend is leaving on July 2nd to go visit Hawaii for a month (they come back on July 29th). I talk to them generally everyday, usually for awhile, and I know I'm going to miss them- and its not like I can just text/call them anytime either because their time zone is 6 hours different from mine - now, it's 8:30 in the morning there, while its 2:30pm where I live. 

So my question is: How do I stay in touch? How do I get distracted? Who do I talk to while they are away? 

Please let me know what you think :/

Try sending them longer emails, like you're penpals for the month! You can even include links to things you think they'd like and some pictures.--admin

Okay, the Admins gave good advice on the email thing, so if you were to send an email at 3 pm your time, your friend would get it at 9 am their time, and they'd have all afternoon to send one back. You might not read it until the next day, but you'd keep in touch and your friend could update you on their adventures. Have your friend help you set up a time for you to email each other. 

While you're waiting for an email back, try going outside. If you have a bike or something like that, you can ride around your neighborhood. Or maybe you could sign up for summer camp while your friend's away, or start a business doing things like babysitting or dog walking, or a lemonade stand. You can also try reading a new series. 
As for who to talk to, I'm not really sure. If you have any other friends who aren't as close, you can hang out with them. It might be a good opportunity to get to know them better. But make sure you don't replace your best friend. 
That's all I got. Keep us updated on how your doing while your friend's gone!

Thank you so much @Peri and @Admins - that's some great advice! I have been meaning to get outdoors some more...

Hi Jaybells, this is a little late, but I read your comment earlier on the crisis of faith. 

I took a while to respond because it’s a very difficult question to answer, especially since I was also isolated from the LGBTQ+ community. However, I can encourage you to pray to God and ask Him to help you. You can also read the Bible to find comfort and answers. (And no, Tsuki, each translation of the Bible is only changing the words so they are easier to read; “thy” to “your” and older words into newer words. The main ideas of the Bible stay the same. Anyway, God is good and He will NOT be unfair by making His Word hard or impossible to interpret.)

 

I will be praying for you! :D

Meanings (and interpretations) of the Bible can vary as it is translated from its original languages into others.

Okay so... prepare for a rant.

I don't really know what to do, one of my friends (let's call him Trampoline) just wants to hang out with my brother and not with me, because I'm not a boy. And the friend's sister (Sassicorn) just wants to play with me, and I feel uncomfortable playing with her because one. She is constantly bossing me around and I feel like I can't do anything I want to do. And two. She keeps trying to be horrible to Trampoline and assumes that I'll like her if she does. And when she does that, it makes our brothers just assume that I'm their enemy, because Sassicorn keeps trying to drag me into her 'team', even if we're not playing anything. And when we are playing something, she says that I can be 'team leader', and then she tells me what to do. And if I say I don't want to do what Sassicorn wants me to do, she gets mad, and I don't want that.

and Trampoline keeps being mean to Sassicorn to try to get my attention, and it's just too much.

so every time they both come to our house to hang out, I end up staying inside for the whole time. I discuss it with my mom, and with my dad, but me being introverted as usual, I can't really talk about it. 

I just wanted to get this out. Sorry admins for the super long post.

Okay. So I don't know how I have the bravery to post with my CB name on this thread, but here we go.

I don't really know if this is really something to worry about, so if you want to, you can just ignore this. So the problem is, I've kind of noticed that after I've posted on a thread sometimes, it dies, and it will kind of just say, "2 weeks 3 days ago by Nut Le Squirrel" and just stays there.

I won't say anything else about that, because I don't really know if it's a big problem, because it might just be I don't have a lot of patience.

Hey. I completely get how you feel. That happens to me sometimes, and it can make you feel like, "Wait, what if the threads die BECAUSE I POSTED ON THEM?"

But the fact is--unless there's a super wierd glitch in the system--that isn't possible.

There are hundreds of threads that died with the names of other CBers.

And although it can be hard to believe, it's probably just a coincidence. Simply that the CBers lost interest in the thread right after you posted on it, but not because you posted on it. Either that, or you just have to wait longer...it's frustrating to see your name on that thread as it sinks, but sometimes there are weeks between posts. However, I will try to post more on threads with or withour your name as the last poster.
